Tomato cucumber salad is a summer-fresh classic side dish and this simple recipe is just that. With the addition of some protein rich chickpeas, this delicious salad can also be a complete lunch all on its own.

Mint is always in profusion in the small herb garden just outside my kitchen door during the summer, so I chose some of it to add a bright fresh note to the salad. Practically any fresh herb that you like or have on hand will do as a substitute though; basil, chives, oregano, tarragon or oregano would all be great choices.

If you want to add a little salty element to the salad, especially of serving it as an easy lunch dish, a sprinkle of feta cheese when serving is also good.

Add all of the salad ingredients to a large bowl, then prepare the dressing.

To prepare the dressing, simply whisk all of the ingredients together well and pour over the salad ingredients.

Toss together well and chill in the fridge for at least a couple of hours, tossing occasionally.

Really nice salad as a lunch or with a BBQ. Very refreshing and great flavor with the mint. I made it according to the recipe and it was a big hit. A definite “make again”. Great summer salad. Thanks!!
